J ● T| Japanese Traditions and culture

In the world, there is a person living in a country unlike the native place country a lot.
And many foreigners live in Japan.
The person who lives by work and a hobby.
The person who likes Japan, and continues living for dozens of years.
The person who marries a Japanese, and builds the family.
The culture and environment of Japan lose a sense of incongruity when they live in Japan for a long time.
And it becomes the sense same as a Japanese before I notice.

Feel that people living in Japan for a long time are saying “I was used to Japan”.
The sense that was used to the culture of other countries is slightly interesting!
